Leica L-Mount Announcement at Photokina 2018

I think this is one of the smartest moves Leica has made in years because it allows them to continue soaking up the luxury market while allowing Panasonic to offer more complex, less luxurious cameras for their mount that take full advantage of Leica glass. This should also lead to two additional price points for l-mount lenses. It could also give them access to Panasonic sensors if they weren’t using them already.
